Beef Short Rib and Chuck Roast Recipes

We recently invested in an entire grass fed cow. I do not eat much meat, but asked co-op members to send along what recipes they have to help make it easier. This recipe is from one of our sister co-op members Lynne...

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup minced garlic
  • 1/2 large onion, minced
  • 3 - 4 pounds short ribs
  • 1/4 can Pepsi

Directions

  1. Pour soy sauce, water, and vinegar into a large, non-metallic bowl. Whisk in brown sugar, white sugar, pepper, sesame oil, garlic,Pepsi and onion until the sugars have dissolved. Submerge the ribs in this marinade, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 7 to 24 hours; the longer, the better.
  2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
  3. Remove ribs from the marinade, shake off excess, and discard the marinade. Cook on preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes per side
  4. AS AN ALTERNATIVE: the ribs may be placed in a slow cooker and cooked on low for 4-6 hours
  5.  
 
Chuck Roast Slow Cooker Recipe
The chuck roast turned out very, very good. I cooked it in a slow cooker. I browned the roast first, sauted some onions and garlic and put everything in the slow cooker; I add some fresh carrots, a large can of crushed tomatoes, a small can of tomato sauce, Italian herbs, salt and pepper to taste and cooked it slow for about 8 or 9 hours. I served it over pasta with a nice salad (Italian dressing). I was surprise that it wasn't as fatty as the conventional cut.
